Dinner tonight...

Well, I have decided to post recipes for what we have for dinner from time to time, if I make up a new and healthy recipe that's a hit with the fam. Here is what we had tonight:
Curry Chicken over Rice
Steamed Zucchini(from the garden)

Curry Chicken recipe:
nonstick cooking spray
1 teaspoon curry powder
1 medium onion, coarsely diced

1 lb boneless skinless chicken
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 cup chicken broth
1/8 to 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper, to taste
1 Tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 cup cold water

1. Cut chicken into 1" pieces, set aside. 2. Heat large skillet to medium and spray generously with cooking spray. Add curry powder and stir around a bit, then add onion. Saute onions about 5 minutes, being careful not to burn them, then add chicken. Sprinkle garlic salt over chicken, then brown all sides. Add chicken broth and cayenne pepper. Turn heat down to low and simmer 20 minutes covered. After 20 minutes, remove cover. Stir 1 Tablespoon cornstarch into 1/4 cup COLD water until dissolved, then add to skillet with chicken. Stir and simmer 2 more minutes or until sauce thickens, then serve over rice.

Enjoy! Let me know if you try this and like it! Adding only 1/8 tsp of cayenne makes it a bit less spicy and more kid friendly, 1/4 tsp for a spicier crowd!
